The Weight Thing: Day 41

Another day for sleeping in. Got up late, did some chores around the house, and then we grabbed lunch at a new place: Wild Wings, over near Brier Creek. First, we had baked potato soup. It's worth commenting further on the soup: I never ate paste in kindergarten, but if I had, this would have been the sensation. Once I poured some of my ice water into the soup and stirred it, the texture got a little less creepy. Still, I didn't finish it.

We had a sampler platter of various types of wings - teriyaki, barbecue, mustard, chipotle, and their standard medium wings. They were all pretty good, although the chipotle didn't have much oomf to it.

I also had a Mr. Pibb (caffeine/sugar) to drink with the wings.

We took the leftovers home.

Later, after picking up the new TV, I had an apple and some cheese with a black cherry creme soda for dinner.

The Weight Thing: Day 40

Slept in. Had lunch with Karen at Red Robin. Lunch included: Bacon cheeseburger, salad with honey mustard dressing, and a Coke (sugar/caffeine). No fries, no dessert.

For dinner, Karen made turkey sandwiches with chutney, with sweet potatoes on the side. I had a Coke (sugar/caffeine) to drink with it. For dessert, we had apple/pear pie.

The Weight Thing: Day 39

Well, on the day of the year I felt most likely to blow my dieting efforts completely out of the water, I didn't do so bad.

For breakfast, Karen made me a cranberry scone with hot tea (caffeine).

For lunch, Dan and Marie hosted a Thanksgiving feast. I had ham, green bean casserole, corn bread, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes with gravy, potatoes au gratin, one Coke Zero (caffeine), and a Stewart's Root Beer (sugar). For dessert: A slice of delicious pumpkin pie.

For dinner, Karen made Brunswick stew and corn muffins. I drank a Coke (caffeine/sugar) with it. For dessert: Chocolate pudding.

I got the munchies later and almost ate another meal around 1 a.m., but I fended it off and got some sleep instead.

Short Attention Span Review: "27 Dresses"

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Someone said that. But they never watched this movie. I'm pretty sure I've permanently lost a corner off my man card for seeing it. Maybe the only way I can make up for it is to watch The Wedding Crashers five or six more times.

The Weight Thing: Day 38

No breakfast on Wednesday.

For lunch, we picked up Smithfield's barbecue pork with potato salad, hush puppies, and cole slaw. I didn't eat many of the hush puppies or much of the potato salad. None of the cole slaw. I had sweet tea (caffeine/sugar).

For dinner, Karen made baked eggs, tomato soup, and bread. I drank Coke (caffeine/sugar) with dinner.

No dessert!

Gobble-gobble!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mystery solved!

They're just not into each other:
